1

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen

anaerobically

aerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.


2

Molecules and atoms that are outputs from a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

reactants

products

results

side effects


Solution

During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).


3

The respiratory and circulatory systems are similar in that they:

83% Answer Correctly

transport oxygen

add carbon dioxide

deoxygenate blood

transport nutrients


Solution

Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.


4

Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of:

57% Answer Correctly

1 m/s to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg

1 mph to a mass of 1 kg

1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg/s2


Solution

Weight is a force that describes the attraction of gravity on an object. Force is measured in newtons (N) with 1 N being the force required to impart an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of 1 kg.


5

Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?

62% Answer Correctly

same poles repel each other

all of these are untrue

opposite poles repel each other

opposite poles attract each other


Solution

Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
